DENVER, May lO.-Railroad circles in
Denver are agitated by the fact that sew
eral trunk lines that have heretofore up
held the payment OF commissions to
agents, have receded from that position
and have acceded 10 the demands of the
other trunk lines, and much curiosity is
being felt as to the position of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande railway now that all of
its immediate connections have Withdrawn
from its support. An Associated Press
reporter called uDon s.. K. Hooper, gen.
erai passenger agent of that road, to-day,
and vas informed that the Rio Grande
was not yet prepared to abandon the posi-
toin that had been assumed, and that he
expected to maintain it until the road
found itself entirely without supper or
the anticipated suit OF the Rock Island
& Alton line should be decided adversely
to this position.

DAYS OF THE WEEK.
The Physiognomies of Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Busy Thursday.

The PhysiOgnomies of Tuesday, Wednes-
day AID Busy Thursday.
Tuesday has only this hold on our
recognition, that it is not so far from
Sunday but there is distinct, if dimn-
Shed, flavor of its being still "along the
first of the week" Things promised for
this conveniently vague period can still
be creditabE performed. But to-mor-
row, we fee, will be already the middle
Of the week There is, accordingly, q
slight ''hurry-up" tinge about Tuesday.
"Wednesday is still worse off for iden-
tty of countenance. Its face is chiefly
to be known by its not being that of
any other day in the week, as some per-
sons are Known only by their not being
anybody else. The middle of its fore
noon is the time when we ask some one,
"What day is this?" 1t has occurred
to me thai there might be, in quiet
families, some special bit OF food as u
mnemonic for Wednesday. If the fish
was sacred to the Teutonic Venus, and
socame into Friga's day, is there not
sose flesh or fowl that might be con-
ysfdered to belong to Wooden? Do we
not know, indeed, of a wholesome we're
table, u little under a cloud, perhaps,
whose subdued fragrancy in the house
might stir the fountains of memory
(and of tears), and mark the day? Yet if
we search cautiously in our mental i'm
PRESTON of Wednesday, we may find a
kind of lesurely and humdrum look that
is ali its own. The hour for the first
of-the-week dash into great enterprises
is gone. We are in the midst of every
thing, with time enough before us to
prevent hurry, but not enough to invite
any vigor of attack. This eaTly-middle-
of-the-weak-ness it is which vaguely
marks Wednesday to the mind.
Thursday, however, begins to have a
dim penumbra of a sense of end-of-the-
week about it. 1t has to asgreater de-
grcc the hurry-up suggestiveness OF
Tuesday, butwith this marked differ
:nce; on Tuesday it was the haste of
hope; now it is the haste of fear. 1t is
the day of feeling oppressed with the
lot of things that were to have been ION
Wednesday we should have said "to
be done;" now we use the regretful or
remorseful ''to have been') doEe this
week-"and here we are" we say,
''past the middle of it." Thursday is
therefore the working-day par excellence.
If a man ever does any stroke of solid
work-if he is not constitutionally OPP
posed to working between meals" at

principle that it is proper for aWorld's
Fair to be the centennial celebration
of something, and, conversely, that
centennial celebration-of national
Importance at least should be
Worlds Fair. Thus our Exposition in
Philadelphia was held In 1876; and thus
the French propose to celebrate in
Paris in 1889. We have some claim 10
the latter year as Centennial Fair
occasion, also, since our Constitution
will have been in operation a hundred
years by that time; but our people,
when the subject was broached year
ago, were not disposed to take advan-
tage of the opportunity.
The time of all times for celebrating
a centennial by a World Fair in this
country is coming. In 1892 it will
have been just 400 years since Christie
